CITY COUNCIL.
The Rival street Railroad Companies
Cross Swords.

A special meeting Of the city council
was held at s o'clock last evening, Mayor
Riner in the chair. Mr.. Potter, on be.
half of the Cheyenne Street Railway COM
pany. stated that the company desired to
make application to the council for the
right of way through certain streets of the
city. Mr.. Hunt then introduced an ordi.
nance for that purpose, which asked for
the right of way along some of the princi-
pal streets of the city. The rate of fare
is not to exceed ten cents over each route,
there being three separate routes. Opera
tons are to begin at once in putting in
this line, and me route is to be completed
within six months, and the entire line
within two years.
The ordinance, after having been read
by Clerk Kuykendall, was, on motion of
Alderman Altman, referred TO the finance
committee with instructions to report on
the same at the next regular meeting.
On motion the council adjourned.
As will be seen elsewhere, two street
railroad companies were organized in Chey-
enne, the company in whose behalf the
ordinance was introduced not having filed
their articles until about ! o'clock last
evening. Special efforts we're evidently
made by certain w%irc-pullers in behalf OF
this company to secure the right of way
and thus defeat the aim of the company
first organized; hence the suddenly called
special meeting of the city council. That
body, however, nipped the little scheme
in the bud by p~ostponing action until the
next regular meeting.

THE CAPITOL.
The Walls Going up Fast--sixty Men at
Work.

A trip to the capitol by THE LEADERS
hired man yesterday revealed the fact
that work is now being pushed with re-
markable alacrity under the supervision
of N. J. O'Brien. of the capitol commits
sion, and Mr.. Greenlee, representing the
contractors. What is called the base
ment story" is now all complete, and the
walls of the second story have already be-
gun to rise, especially in the center por-
ton of the building, which projects to the
north as well as the south side of the
building for a distance of about twenty
feet. So far as the walls have been laid
they present a very fine appearance, and
show for themselves that they have been
fitted and trimmed by a master hand in
the stone cutting business. In places the
walls are already laid upward from the
basement story Tor a distance of nearly six
feet, aud in the course of week more, at
the rate with which the work is being
pushed now, the first story will be pretty
well completed except along that portion
of the wall where the corner stone is to be
laid.
As the capitol has been planned, it is
contemplated that sooner or later east and
west wings will be added, and such being
the case the two ends will for the present
and after the building is completed be of
brick, but will, of course, be painted over
80 as to present the same appearance so
far as color is concerned as the rest of the
building, whose north and south walls will
be Of stone from the Rawlins quarry.
Most of the iron and other material for
the roof and tower of the building has
already arrived and been delivered upon
the capitol grounds ready to be used when
the proper time comes.
There are now sixty men all told at work
every day on the building in some capacity
and at the rate the work is progressing
the capitol will not only be completed by
the LIST OF January next, but long before
that time. Certain it is, at all events,
that the next Wyoming legislature will
have a place in which to hold its sessions,
if not quite so convenient for the member
who quite frequently desires to go out for
the purpose of consulting his %constit-
uents ~ it will at least be more comforta-
bic and commodious.

Has Commenced.

The building boom has at length begun
and following f. Maggie. who may prop
erly be said to have commenced the boom,
several others have begun the erection of
residences, which are already well under
way. But until yesterday the building
boom, which is to be an extensive one this
season, had not extended to the business
portion Of the city. On yesterday, how.
ever. j. X. Jeffrey let q contract to R. p.
Mcdonald to tear out and replace with
brick the fronts of two or three of his
buildings on Ferguson street, and also to
build an addition thirty feet long, to ex.
tend from the rear of one ofthese buildings
eastward. Although after the transforma
ton has taken place the buildings will be
only one story high, yet provided as they
will be with a gorgeous ~cornice, they will
add materially to the appearance of that
portion of Ferguson street which has for
so long been practically at q standstill.

Sensible Reflections.

The Lancaster pa Erammer has the
following reflections which it would be
well for everybody to think over;
1t is an old adage among gamblers never
to try to beat man at his own game. Yet
every day we see men trying to accomplish
the impossible in this Way Not long age
a farmer from Strasburg tried to get s. ,0OC
for nothing from a bunko steerer and got
left. Served him right. The man who
expects much for nothing is as bad at
heart as he who tries to gull the simple
minded On Wednesday the Examiner
recorded another victim of the 'gyp .
game, by which he paid $3.50 for q compar-
atiyely worthless horse. Served him right.
He expected to get an advertised 81, 100
horse for $500, and in measure was no
better than the man who played the game
on him. Men who do not read newspapers
and will blow oct the gas. tamper with
bunko steerers and tribe with the ''gyp y
horse game, deserve to lose. and courts of
law are scarcely doing justice when they
give such mercenary victims revenge. The
man who is honest himself is not cheated
by rogues. The man who is combination
of knave and fool always gets left by a
bigger rascal. If a wise man wants any
thing he goes to a reputable dealer. If he
wants good thing he pays a reasonable
price. When the best coffee is forty cents
pound do you think equally good can be
bought for fifteen? Honesty costs some
thing of course. We must pay for the
guarantee. The authorizations we have in
food do not come so much from a natural
desire of dealers to put on the market a
bogus article, but because the masses walt
something for less than its value. and will
take cheap oleomargarine, instead of gen
uine butter, under the same nalLe. Now
every good thing has agenuine value. I'm
der certain circumstances you may get 6
great thing for trihe. This is on account
of ignorance. There are PENNIES worth
| hundreds of dollars to numismatlst
| You might spend it for a postage stamp
| This is an accidental case. Generally
| speaking, everything you buy has an hon
est, intrinsic value. If you get it for les!
than it is worth, somebody loses. All
sensational advertisements are half o.
whole lies. They catch the mercenary foo
for whom we have no pity. DON'T rul
after strange gods All that glitters isno
gold. The thief and bunko steerer liv'
because there exist others who at heart arr
just as bad. My brother, if you are no
honest on principle, remember in the lon|
run honesty is the best policy.

A Great Dat Swindle.

The Cumberland Valley (Pa.), including
the counties of Cumberland. Franklin and
Adams, has been victimized blythe Bohe-
milan oat swindle. 1t is estimated that at
least 1000 farmers have been drawn into
the scheme and the sharpers have already
drained the three counties of Ss500,O00.
This is enough to cause serious distress
when the bubble breaks. But if this gi-
gantic raid Upon agricultural finances is
allowed to continue this sum may be null
tipled several times.
PLAN OF THE SWINDLE.
The Bohemian Dat Swindle has two
chief characteristics. 1t appeals to the
avarice and it makes its every victim a
fellow conspirator for its success.
The method of the swindler is simple,
but ingenious. He approaches in the fall
OF the year Farmer A, who has been care.
fully selected for his prosperity and repu-
tation for integrity. The swindler tells
Farmer A that he has for sale new kind
of seed oats of marvellous quality. He
offers to sell A ten bushels of this cereal
wonder at $40 a bushel. A is aghast at
sucha price. He has never heard of more
than thirty or forty cents bushel for oats
before. But the swindler replies: "Oh,
you can make lots of money out OF it.
You give me your note for 500 for the ten
bushels. Sow the oats, and next fall Twill
sell for you twenty bushels Of your crop at
$40. That will be 5000. You will get
your 800 back and e100prolit, out of which
you must pay me % per cent. commission,
leaving you $75 net profit
The farmer never heard of making so
much money out of so few oats before. In
some cases the swindler even offers to buy
the entire crop of the ten bushels of seed
at Sc per bushel. 70 prove his sincerity
the swindIer exhibits blank contract,
ilashily printed in red and blue ink, of
which the following is an example:
